A Simple Lemon-Meringue Cheesecake That You’ll Fall in Love With

June 25, 2020 by Angela Paris 1 Comment

Everyone has a favorite dessert. Some people like chocolate, some love ice-cream, but if you ask us, fruit desserts are unbeatable. Especially if we’re talking about a recipe that involves lemons. That sour and sweet taste goes well in a bunch of recipes and adds a unique flavor. If we could make all dessert recipes with lemons, trust us that we would.

Today we have a lemon meringue cheesecake for you that you’ll fall in love with. It’s sweet, it’s sour and bold and every piece of it will melt in your mouth.

Cheesecake as we know it was invented in the XVIII century, but its history goes all the way back to ancient Greece. It grew to be one of the most popular desserts of all time and this lemon merengue bit suits it very well.

Dairy- and Gluten-Free Lemon Merengue Dessert

Ingredients

Crust

  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons honey

Filling

  • ¾ cup honey
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • Four 8 oz. packs of cream cheese (dairy-free)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Meringue

  • 1 ¼ cups of honey
  • 7 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of cream of tartar

Instructions

To make the crust, mix everything in a bowl with a mixer at medium speed, then line it on a pie tin with parchment paper evenly.

Next comes the filling. Beat the cream cheese and sour cream nicely, add in the eggs, add the lemon juice, and then add the rest of the mixture. Set it aside until it settles on room temperature, then let it cool down in the fridge for 3-4 hours.

The meringue comes last. Beat the eggs with a mixer, add the cream of tartar, then in goes the honey. Add the vanilla extract when the mixture is thick. When you’re done, spread it over the cool cheesecake.

Finally, bake the pie in the oven (preheated at 325 F), let it cool down, cut nice slices and enjoy!

Smores Cheesecake

May 3, 2016 by Kelly Dedeaux

S'mores Cheesecake / by Busy Mom's Helper #Smores #Cheesecake #Dessert #Chocolate #Marshmallow

Ready for another delicious dessert today? I sure am! It’s one of those weeks where I’m constantly craving chocolate. That’s pretty normal, but every now and then it’s like I could eat chocolate All. Day. Long! Not healthy, I’m sure…but sometimes I just don’t care. Life’s good, gotta live it, right? So for my fellow chocolate-lovers out there, here’s a chocolaty Smores Cheesecake just for you!

S'mores Cheesecake / by Busy Mom's Helper #Smores #Cheesecake #Dessert #Chocolate #Marshmallow

I combined a few things for this, including the Graham Cracker Brownie as the crust. Remember that yummy-ness from the Frosty S’mores Brownie Bars? In the middle was a new attempt, turning into a wonderful Chocolate Cheesecake. Top it off with some absolutely addicting (especially for my hubby…this is one of his favorite things!) creamy Marshmallow Cream and you’ve got a winner!

S'mores Cheesecake / by Busy Mom's Helper #Smores #Cheesecake #Dessert #Chocolate #Marshmallow

Ingredients – Graham Crust

  • 2 cups Graham Crackers (crumbs)
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/4 – 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 14 oz. Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • Pinch of Salt

Directions – Graham Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. Mix all of the ingredients together well and press into your desired (sprayed or lined) cake or pie pan.
  2. Bake for about 25 minutes. It will be partially done, but not completely. Keep oven on and move on to the Cheesecake layer….

Ingredients – Cheesecake

  • 16 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 4 oz. Hershey Bar, melted

Directions – Cheesecake

  1. Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Whisk the eggs then add to the sugar mixture. Stir in the sour cream and melted Hershey’s.
  2. Pour mixture over graham brownies and bake at 355 Degrees F for about 35-45 minutes or until done. Cool completely, then cover and chill for 4 hours.

Marshmallow Cream: Recipe here

Finish it all off: Spread the Marshmallow Cream over the Smores Cheesecake. Top with graham crumbs and mini chocolate chips, as desired. Store in the fridge.

Key Lime Cheesecake

March 3, 2016 by Kelly Dedeaux

Key Lime Cheesecake / Busy Mom's Helper

My hubby loves sour things, such as lime. His mother even more so! When she was up visiting, I found some lemon and lime juice in the fridge and decided to try one of her favorite things to get at The Cheesecake Factory: Key Lime Cheesecake. I’d never even made cheesecake before, so I was a bit nervous, but it turned out nicely creamy and smooth.

Key Lime Cheesecake / Busy Mom's Helper

Ingredients:
1 prepared Crust (I used a premade graham cracker)
32 oz. Cream cheese
1 ¼ cup Sugar
1 Tbsp. Cornstarch
4 Eggs
1 Tbsp. Lime zest
1/3 cup Lime juice
1/3 cup Lemon juice

Preheat oven to 300 F.
In an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, lime peel and cornstarch until fluffy and smooth.
Beat in the eggs, on at a time, until smooth.
Add the lime juice and lemon juice, mixing by hand just until smooth.
Pour into prepared crust
Bake for about 60 minutes, or until set. Let the cheesecake stand in turned-off oven about 30 minutes, with the door open a few inches. Remove from oven and refrigerate overnight.

Notes: Try it with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce, or some whipped topping.
